CNG Vehicle Care & Safety Guide

Maintain safe, compliant, and efficient CNG operation through periodic inspections, certified servicing, insurance and PUC compliance, and mandatory hydro testing.

Essential Safety Precautions During Servicing

Park Safely

If leak is suspected, keep at least 6 metres away from open flame, sparks, or ignition sources.

Empty Before Welding

Before heat work within 1.5 metres of cylinder, fully empty the cylinder.

Authorised Service Only

Use qualified technicians and approved diagnostic equipment for all CNG-related work.

Insurance, PUC, Cylinder Safety, and Hydro Testing

CNG Kit Insurance

Inform your insurer after conversion and include kit coverage with applicable premium.

PUC Compliance

CNG conversion does not exempt periodic emission checks. Keep valid PUC documentation.

Cylinder Strength

Approved CNG cylinders are high-strength pressure vessels tested for impact and fire scenarios.

Hydro Test Cycle

Complete hydrostatic testing every 3 years or as current regulations prescribe.

Drive Safely with Confidence

A professionally installed and regularly maintained CNG system offers lower fuel costs, cleaner emissions, and dependable performance. Combine authorised servicing, valid PUC/insurance, and timely hydro testing for long-term safety.
